The Yokonuma-Hecke algebras and the HOMFLYPT polynomial. (English) Zbl 1295.57015

The Yokonuma-Hecke algebras \(Y_{d,n}(u)\) were introduced by T. Yokonuma [C. R. Acad. Sci., Paris, Sér. A 264, 344–347 (1967; Zbl 0225.20027)] in the context of Chevalley groups, as generalizations of the Iwahori-Hecke algebras. In [J. Knot Theory Ramifications 13, No. 1, 25–39 (2004; Zbl 1100.20008)], J. Juyumaya constructed a unique linear Markov trace \(tr\) on the algebras \(Y_{d,n}(u)\), depending on d parameters. The trace \(tr\) was used sub-sequently by one of the authors in [J. Juyumaya and S. Lambropoulou, Adv. Math. 234, 149–191 (2013; Zbl 1266.57011)] for defining isotopy invariants for framed knots. The authors compare the invariants for classical knots and links defined using the Juyumaya trace on the Yokonuma-Hecke algebras with the HOMFLYPT polynomial. They show that these invariants do not coincide with the HOMFLYPT except in a few trivial cases.
